Base System Installation Checklist:
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it
Initial boot worked: [E]
Ran out of memory, I had to reduce the ramdisk_size parameter and set up a swap
device before I could start the installer
Configure network HW: [O]
Autodetection did not work, I had to manually select the appropriate kernel
module
Config network: [E]
Worked in the first attempt, but failed during the real installation run.
Detect CD: [O]
Load installer modules: [O]
Detect hard drives: [O]
Partition hard drives: [O]
Create file systems: [O]
Mount partitions: [O]
Install base system: [O]
Install boot loader: [-]
There is no standard boot loader that can be installed from within Linux.
Reboot: [O]
Comments/Problems:
Went really well for an installation on a system with only 16 MiB of (usable)
RAM.
It might be worthwhile to have a way of setting up some swap device before
starting the full installer, so this can be done without any init=/bin/sh trick.

Thanks for the report. Nice to see one for m68k, we don't get many. Let's
qualify it as semi-successful :-)
I've forwarded the report to the d-68k list, but as it refers to Sarge and
m68k is not officially supported for Etch and (so far) for Lenny, I see
little point in keeping it open, especially as there have been huge changes
in kernels and installer since then, so the relevance of your comments for
current D-I is probably not that great.
However, m68k porters may feel differently and can always reopen the report
if they wish.
Cheers,
FJP
